We present the results of experimental studies of hadron showers in a copper:quartz-fiber calorimeter, based on the detection of Cherenkov light. These studies show that there are very significant differences between the signals from protons and pions at the same energies. In the energy range between 200 and 375 GeV, where these studies were performed, the calorimeter's response to protons was typically 10% smaller than the response to pions. On the other hand, the energy resolution was about 25% better for protons. In addition, the protons had a Gaussian line shape, whereas the pion response curve was asymmetric. These differences can be understood from the requirements of baryon number conservation in the shower development. They are expected to be present in any non-compensating calorimeter, to a degree determined by the e/h value.

Observation of water confined in nanometer channels of closed carbon nanotubes
Naguib, N; Ye, HH; Gogotsi, Y; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Megaridis, CM; Yoshimura, M (2004-11-01)
We present a method to fill 2-5-nm-diameter channels of closed multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) with an aqueous fluid and perform in situ high-resolution observations of fluid dynamic behaviour in this confined system. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations confirm the successful filling of two types of MWNTs and reveal disordered gas/liquid interfaces contrasting the smooth curved menisci visualized previously in MWNT with diameter above 10 nm. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and e...
On the production, elemental composition (C, N, P) and distribution of photosynthetic organic matter in the Southern Black Sea
Yilmaz, A; Tuğrul, Süleyman; Polat, Colpan; EDİGER, DİLEK; Coban, Yeşim; MORKOÇ, ENİS (1998-01-01)
Chemical oceanographic understanding of the southern Black Sea has been improved by recent measurements of the optical transparency, phytoplankton biomass (in terms of chlorophyll-a and particulate organic matter) and primary productivity. During the spring-autumn period of 1995-1996, light generally penetrated only into the upper 15-40 m, with an attenuation coefficient varying between 0.125 and 0.350 m(-1). The average chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentrations for the euphotic zone ranged from 0.1 to 1.5 mu g ...
A Detailed Analysis for the Absorption Coefficient of Multilevel Uncooled Infrared Detectors
Küçük, Serhat; Akın, Tayfun (2011-04-29)
This paper introduces a detailed analysis on the calculation of the absorption coefficient of multilevel uncooled infrared detectors. The analysis is carried out considering a two-level 25 mu m pixel pitch infrared detector with a sandwich type resistor which is divided into sub-regions consisting of different stacks of layers. The absorption coefficients of these different sub-regions are calculated individually by using the cascaded transmission line model, including the main body, arms, and the regions w...
Experimental Characterization of Micro Vortex Generators in Low Speed Flows
Akpolat, Tuğrul; Abdulrahim, Anas; Hassanein, Abdelrahman; Uzol, Oğuz; Perçin, Mustafa (2021-09-08)
In this study, we present the experimental results of the characterization of micro-ramp type Micro Vortex Generators (MVGs) in low-speed flows. The undisturbed boundary layer profile was measured by means of Hot-Wire Anemometry. Two MVGs with the same design but different height-to-boundary layer thickness ratios are used in this study. Two-dimensional twocomponent particle image velocimetry measurements are conducted in the wake of the MVGs. The results reveal the lift-off of the wake away from the wall f...
Investigation of the dynamic properties of ferroelectric crystals close to phase transitions
Kiracı, Ali; Erkoç, Şakir; Department of Physics (2015)
In this thesis we investigated the dynamical properties of some ferroelectric crystals and ceramics under various temperature and pressure conditions close to the phase transitions. In particular, we focused on the Raman frequencies, damping constant and the activation energy of soft modes with the pseudospin-phonon coupling in some ferroelectric crystals exhibiting phase transitions. We predicted the critical behavior of the frequency related to the order parameter (spontaneous polarization) in the ferroel...
